Classic Psychonauts comes to PS4 this Spring

Psychonauts follows the story of a young psychic named Razputin in his quest to join an elite group of international psychic secret agents, the Psychonauts! He runs away from the circus and breaks into their secret training facility, Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp.

As he begins his training by psychically delving inside the consciousnesses of his tutors and those around him, he realises all is not as it seems, and soon embarks upon a psychic odyssey through a variety of levels set inside the minds of misfits, monsters, and madmen!

You may have seen Psychonauts in the news a fair bit recently. Last month at PlayStation Experience we announced that Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin would be coming exclusively to PlayStation VR in 2016, and for the last month we’ve been running a crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds to make Psychonauts 2.

We’re happy to report that we are now 100% funded, so can officially announce that Psychonauts 2 will also be coming to PS4 in a few years time — that’s a whole lot of Psychonauts to look forward to!

I felt like I was one of the only people that tweeted about this happening, glad to hear that I wasn’t and also really happy to see this incredible original title coming to the PS4 ahead of the sequel. Cannot wait! Honestly one of my favourite game companies ever.

Let’s hope they’re secretly using the PC version as the starting point for this release. It supports a native 1080p resolution, has decent controller support, and doesn’t suffer from the washed out colors that were present in the PS2 version.

I love old classic PS platforming games like Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank and Crash Bandicoot, and I can’t wait to get my hands on this one. Not to mention that I loved Double Fine’s PS4 version of Grim Fandango so I’m really excited. 😀
